How It Works

Three Steps to Full Jira Automation

From install to automation in seconds

No configuration files, no build steps, no API wrappers. Just one command and your AI agent has full Jira & Confluence access.

Install with one command

Add the MCP server to Claude Code or any MCP-compatible agent with a single command. No build step required.

Agent discovers 116 tools

The MCP protocol automatically exposes all available tools — issues, sprints, boards, Confluence pages, bulk operations, and more.

Ask in natural language

"Show me all in-progress issues assigned to me" — the agent selects the right tool, builds the JQL, and returns structured results.

Capabilities

Everything Your AI Agent Needs

Full CRUD operations, bulk actions, analytics, and multi-account support — all through the MCP protocol.

Full Jira CRUD

Issues, sprints, boards, projects, users, comments, and transitions. Complete lifecycle management.

Confluence Integration

Spaces, pages, search, comments, labels, attachments, and properties. Same credentials as Jira.

Bulk Operations

Transition, update, delete, move, label, and assign multiple issues at once — with verification.

Sprint Analytics

Sprint reports, velocity tracking, burndown charts. Data-driven insights for your team.

Multi-Account

Add, switch, and remove Jira accounts at runtime. Work across multiple Atlassian instances.

Rate Limiting

Exponential backoff with jitter, request queuing, and automatic retry. Built for reliability.
